Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, with reference to the document entitled Establishing a new single enforcement body for employment rights: Government response, published in June 2021, whether it is still his Department's policy to establish a single enforcement body for employment rights.

The creation of a single enforcement body for employment rights requires primary legislation which will only be introduced when parliamentary time allows.

The creation of this new body will be a substantial organisational change, so it is right that we take our time to thoroughly consider all aspects of this reform before proceeding.
